age crop, but was badly damaged by frost the 22d and 23d. 

 Roweu and fall feed are up to the usual average. The yield of 

 potatoes was heavy, but they are rottiug badly. The prospect is 

 good for root crops, celery aud other late market-garden crops. 

 Apples are a fair crop, but not a full even-year average on Bald- 

 wins ; Greenings a full crop ; pears light ; peaches a full crop, but 

 suffered severely from freezing ; grapes good. 



Ciimmington (S. W. Clark). — Corn has made a very good 

 growth, but is not well ripened. Rowen and fall feed are a little 

 above the usual average. The usual amount of fall seeding has 

 been done and it is in good condition. The yield of potatoes was 

 very good, but from 25 to 50 per cent were lost from rot. The 

 prospect is very good for root crops, celery and other late market- 

 garden crops. Apples, pears and cranberries very good ; grapes 

 spoiled by frost on night of the 22d ; peaches not much grown. 



Worthington (C. K. Brewster). — Indian corn is about a 

 normal crop. Rowen and fall feed are rather better than usual. 

 About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done. No onions 

 raised here. Potatoes are a good yield, but are rotting badly. 

 Root crops, celery and other late market-garden crops are about 

 average in condition and promise. There is an abundant crop of 

 apples and pears, but few peaches, grapes or cranberries. Frosts 

 on the 22d and 23d did some damage. 



HAMPDEN COUNTY. 



Tolland (E. M. Moore) . — Indian corn though a little late is 

 about an average crop. Rowen and fall feed are above the usual 

 average. About the usual amount of fall seeding has been done 

 and is in good condition. There was a big crop of potatoes, of 

 good quality, but a large percentage of the crop rotted in the 

 ground. Root crops promise about average yields. Apples are 

 more than an average crop and wild cranberries are plenty. 



Blandford (Enos W. Boise). — Some fields of Indian corn are 

 extra good, but generally the crop is about 80 per cent of the 

 normal. Rowen and fall feed are extra good. Few onions are 

 raised here and those raised were injured by the onion maggot. 

 Potatoes were a very heavy crop wiiere there was no rot, but most 

 fields showed rot, even those sprayed ; many leaving potatoes in 

 the ground as yet. Late garden crops promised well, but the 

 recent frosts cut them nearly all olT so that they are a failure. 

 Pears are a good crop ; apples a heavy crop and voi'y fair, but per- 

 haps not up to the normal in size on account of tiie large amount 

 on the trees.
